BUILDING CONNECTIONS
After completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, 23-year-old
Jessica Hynes, the 2010 recipient of the Master of Management Scholarship, returned to
the Business School to accelerate her career options. She is typical of the high-achieving
students the program attracts. During the program, Jessica took part in an innovation
challenge with Business School partner Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. ‘The exposure to
real-world clients and scenarios during my postgraduate study was invaluable,’ she says.
It was by joining the corporate and alumni networks available through the Business
School that Jessica secured her current role at PwC. ‘With the opportunity to build
and develop networks and introductions into business, my career ambitions are now
achievable,’ she says. ‘In the future I want to work overseas, then build management and
sales experience and progress up the career ladder.’
